A photograph of the Hawthorn Bush next door…
… transformed with illustrator enhanced flowers.

It is one of my most favorite “shows”… and a sign of spring!

It’s spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.
And when you’ve got it, you want – oh,
you don’t quite know what it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! Mark Twain

Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men. ~Chinese Proverb
